These sound great and have good noise canceling and cool controls

These headphones are comfortable, the sound quality and noise cancelling are excellent, and the controls are intuitive

The Sony MDX1000 takes the sound quality of the Sennheiser 2.0's, the noise canceling and comfort of the QC35's, the good looks and highly functional controls of the Parrot 3.0, and thankfully nothing from the PXC550's

B&O attempted the same capacitive touch technology on the H7 and failed miserably

Perfect noise cancelling however the sound is not as loud as I expected.

Noise cancellation does not seem to degrade sound much.4

I feel both noise cancelling and sound is better than Bose 35

Needless to say the noise canceling is the best on the market, and the sound is as good if not better than the Bose 35

Sound is Excelent and the noise cancelling is awesome...

This suck so much when it comes to sound wuality...get yourself some bose if thats what you care about

, in my opinion this is better, the Bose caused me headaches for some reason, I love all the noise cancellation levels this offers

The Sony sounds much better than the Bose QC35 and slightly better than the Sennheiser PXC-550, while cancelling out noise as well as the Bose and better than the Sennheiser

This became distracting, I don't remember my Bose having a white noise.

The Bose doesn't support AptX (if that is important to you)

It is comfortable to wear and fits well over the ear, providing great passive noise cancellation when the active nc is not turned on

Let me be very clear: these are great headphones, with great noise cancelling.

but still, if for you the noise is an issue then go for the Sennheiser momentum 2 noise cancelling over ear headphones

The Bose are simply fantastic if you want mind blowing noise cancellation and great sounding music.

Overall Opinion:These are really good noise cancelling headphones, but that being said, the sound quality is just not there

Love the noise cancelling & sound quality as well as battery life

The noise cancelling is incredible and the sound quality is very impressive

They sound good and the noise cancelling works well, but the quality of build is terrible

No difference in noise cancellation or sound quality with or without the cord

I will say that overall, Bose had slightly better noise cancelling and significantly worse sound quality than both the Sennheiser and Sony

That being said, many reviewers consider this headphone better in sound quality than the Bose quiet comfort 35.

Sound Quality (Bose Wins):I ran these up against my Bose Quiet Comfort 15 Noise Cancelling Headphones and there was simply no comparison, the Bose were superior in audio quality.

I listened to the Bose Quiet Comfort - thought they were great, but hated the price.

B&O attempted the same capacitive touch technology on the H7 and failed miserably

great sound great comfort but bad bad bad construction and sony won't even care so stick with the bose for better build quality and customer service !!

While Sony has great features, It came down to sound quality for me.

Noise cancelling features set this model apart from the competition

I don't need to repeat what everyone else says about sound quality, the noise cancellation and the additional features because it's been said

Not only did the fan noise disappear, I could barely hear the TV.The touch controls are intuitive, the touch to allow ambient sound in is a great feature.

Noise cancellation is good, the feature that allows you to cover the right side with your hand and hear everything not just lowers the music volume but also boosts ambient and voice sound

There is no tight clamping feel on my head and no sore ears after 3 hours of usage

Last but not least: All of the controls are on your right ear

These sounded great, great built with the alcantara features, amazing clarity, a really good balanced level of bass, but they hurt my ears as I use

I also used the cup the right ear to turn off NC, and turn the Mics on so you can hear what your SO or the stewardess is saying

The indicator lights disturb my wife, my ears hurt after about 30 minutes, to many

These say noise cancelling but they are no where close to noise cancelling

Impressed with noise cancelling performance, and touch control is fun

Sound cancelling was good but acoustic quality was never as good as "non" noise cancelling.

I finally bit the bullet and bought some expensive, noise cancelling headphones

They have the best overall noise cancelling, comfort, and sound quality

The best thing I can say about these headphones is that if I lost them I would immediately buy another pair and never look back.

Overall, these are a great pair of headphones, and I am going to use them a lot!

extremely nice pair of wireless noise cancelling headphones.

They are hardly the cheapest pair of noise-canceling headphones around, but the comfort, sound, and portability are all first rate, in my opinion

For the price you are getting an extremely good pair of headphones, but maybe not the best

Sony has a pocket inside for the airplane adapter, then a mesh pocket on the outside for a cord (which I don't like as it tends to snag when you're stuffing the thing inside a bag - would have rather just had the pocket on the inside)

I wish it had dedicated buttons for volume up/down (I don't like swiping as sometimes I have accidentally cut the call)

My favorite aspect of these headphones is the great noise cancellation

The headphones sound quality is great and noise cancellation is amazing

I have owned multiple noise cancelling headphones in the past.

Not as load as I would have liked, but great headphones

I have wanted some nice noise cancelling headphones for a while

Bar none the best noise cancelling headphones on the market.

This is a great pair of wireless, noise cancelling headphones

The cheap plastic band near the hinge is completely cracked on both sides, and offers no structural support at all causing the headset to sit askew on my head making it uncomfortable and unbalance

The plastic cracked with little use like a cheap headphone.

However the plastic feels strong and sturdy, in fact, the whole headphone feels like it is of good quality

Compared to the cheap plastic feeling of both of the Bose products in the same price range, these were more in line with what you'd expect from $400

The plastic is crumbling and obviously just cheaply made

The bad I am not able to hear my young son if he wakes up with a bad dream

Had to have these replaced after 6 months of use because the hinge where the cups connect to the head band began to crack

But still works as I except.

The good I only hear what I am listening too

At the six month mark though, I'm running into a defect that many others are experiencing: The hinges where the earcups attach gradually crack and fall off

Also, Bose’s reluctance to publish meaningful specs is a big problem for me.

However, in an area with many people and thus wireless devices, cutting out become a very annoying problem

The leaks is my only problem so far, which is in a very bad level

Awesome battery life, no problems with the noise-canceling or anything

The sounds are very warm, the bass is deep and not too sharp, high hats don't hurt my ears (a huge problem I had with Dre Beats), and the noise cancelling

This product has a fatal design flaw that means your headband will crack all the way through just above the earcup rotation hinge

Sony has a pocket inside for the airplane adapter, then a mesh pocket on the outside for a cord (which I don't like as it tends to snag when you're stuffing the thing inside a bag - would have rather just had the pocket on the inside)

I found that -- PXC550 had an evenly beautiful sound but somewhat veiled/warm, the mighty bass drum blow in "Dies ire" did not shock as on the 1000X, and the harp arpeggio in the beginning of Nutcracker Waltz was hazy on the PXC550, but delicately clear on the 1000X.

Please check the other reviews and pictures, it’s a design flaw that Sony

Technology has reached a point where this design flaw is inexcusable

The headband was fractured after several months of gentle use

9 months into things the headband cracked like many other ones that have reported this issue

Headband cracked on both sides, after a few months of owning

They just haven't been around long enough for enough negative headband related reviews to accumulate

Very lightweight and top headband is very soft, not hurting the top of your head after hours of listening

However, at night this thing turns into more of a party strobe, meaning don't go into a dark room or dark airplane with these things

I will report back on if they have the same cracking issue as the MDR1000X.

Sony was kind enough to offer a free replacement which is the only reason i give it 3 stars but from what i understand they have not done anything to fix the cracking issue on the never models

Aside from the headband cracking issue (that I have yet to experience), the Sony's look and feel very professional and sleek

Adjusting review to two stars after experiencing some of the headband cracking issue that a number of others have reported

I enjoyed these headphones as soon as I got them.now, having owned them for less than a year, I've also run into the dreaded cracking issue.

The headphones definitely sound more anemic when powering them from your phone or headphone amp via the included 3.5mm cable

The Bose auto power off if you forget to turn them off, while the Sony's seem to sit there burning battery power.

I can't seem to disable the power save feature and only find forums with frustrated people

Also, it's irritating that the headphones automatically power off after a few minutes if they're not paired

I was sceptical about the advertised 20 hour battery life and while I haven't used them for 20 hours yet without charging, power has never been an issue.
